Mazda is pursuing two main goals for its automobiles: an enjoyable driving experience on the one hand, and outstandingly low fuel consumption and emission levels on the other. By 2015, the company plans to reduce consumption by 30 % compared with 2008. So Mazda launched the SKYACTIV program, designed to optimize all the components necessary for reaching these goals. dSPACE Simulators and the Automotive Simulation Models are playing a major role in this.
